A goniometer or goniometric stage is a device used to rotate an object precisely, within a small angular range, about a fixed point in space. Goniometers are similar to linear stages, but, rather than providing linear movement, the stage partially rotates about a fixed point above the mounting surface of the stage. In our two product lines, the distance from the point of rotation to the mounting surface was designed so that two different goniometer models may be stacked in an XY configuration and both stages will rotate about the same point. Our goniometers use a backlash-free leadscrew in the smaller GN series and a precision micrometer for enhanced angular positioning of the top plate in the larger GNL series.
Our goniometers offer unobstructed, pure rotational motion about their point of rotation over the angle of rotation (see Figure 1.1). The compact, stackable design allows one model to be fastened to the top plate of another aligning their points of rotation. In the GN series, the GN05(/M) stage mounts atop the GN1(/M) stage. In the GNL series, the GNL10(/M) stage mounts atop the GNL18(/M) stage. These two axis stage setups can be purchased as a single package [Item #s GN2(/M) or GNL20(/M) respectively].
The precision dovetail design, accompanied by a backlash-free lead screw and a vernier scale, provides accurate and repeatable positioning. A side mounted setscrew can be used to lock the platform in position.
The GN series goniometers provide an array of four 2-56, four 4-40 (M2.5 x 0.45), and eight 6-32 (M3 x 0.5) taps for mounting. This series can be either post mounted via an 8-32 (M4) tap or mounted to a Mini-Series breadboard via the #4 (M3) slotted mounting holes on the base plate.
Alternatively, the GNL series offers twelve 4-40 (M2.5 x 0.45) and sixteen 6-32 (M4 x 0.7) taps. See below or the Specs tab for mounting hole position. Our PM3(/M) and PM4(/M) clamping arms feature 6-32 (M4) threads, allowing them to be attached to most goniometers. This series can be mounted onto a standard breadboard or Mini-Series breadboard with 1/4"-20 (M6) taps via the 1/4" (M6) slotted mounting holes on the base plate.
Note: Prior to mounting components onto the goniometers, please review our standard support documentation, which can be accessed by clicking the red Docs icon (
) next to each Item # below. Using mounting hardware that exceeds the tap depth of the mounting holes will damage the stage.
We do not recommend attempting to remove the base plate from the goniometer. Doing so may compromise the precise adjustment achieved with the stage, which will then require recalibration or readjusting.

Reading a Vernier Scale on a Linear Main Scale
Vernier scales are typically used to add precision to standard, evenly divided scales (such as the scales on Thorlabs' rotation, goniometric, or translation mounts). A vernier scale has found common use in many precision measurement instruments, the most common being calipers and micrometers. The vernier scale uses two scales side-by-side: the main scale and the vernier scale. The direct vernier scale has a slightly smaller spacing between its tick marks owing to the vernier scale having N ticks for every N - 1 ticks on the main scale. Hence, the lines on the main scale will not line up with all the lines on the vernier scale. Only one line from the vernier scale will match well with one line of the main scale, and that is the trick to reading a vernier scale.
Figures 130A through 130C show a linear vernier scale system for three different situations. In each case, the scale on the left is the main scale, while the small scale on the right is the vernier scale. When reading a vernier scale, the main scale is used for the gross number, and the vernier scale gives the precision value. In this manner, a standard ruler or micrometer can become a precision instrument.
The 0 on the vernier scale is the "pointer" (marked by a red arrow in Figures 130A through 130E) and will indicate the main scale reading. In Figure 130A we see the pointer is lined up directly with the 75.6 line. Notice that the only other vernier scale tick mark that lines up well with the main scale is 10. Since the pointer lines up with the main scale’s 75.6, the reading from Figure 130A is 75.60 (in whatever units the instrument measures).
That is essentially all there is to reading a vernier scale. It's a very straightforward way of increasing the precision of a measurement instrument. To expound, let’s look at Figure 130B. Here we see that the pointer is no longer aligned with a line on the main scale, but instead it is slightly above 75.6 and below 75.7; thus, the gross measurement is 75.6. The first vernier line that coincides with a main scale line is the 5, shown with a blue arrow. The vernier scale gives the final digit of precision; since the 5 is aligned to the main scale, the precision measurement for Figure 130B is 75.65.
Since this vernier scale is 10% smaller than the main scale, moving the vernier scale by 1/10 of the main scale will align the next vernier marking. This asks the obvious question: what if the measurement is within the 1/10 precision of the vernier scale? Figure 130C shows just this. Again, the pointer line is in between 75.6 and 75.7, yielding the gross measurement of 75.6. If we look closely, we see that the vernier scale 7 (marked with a blue arrow) is very closely aligned to the main scale, giving a precision measurement of 75.67. However, the vernier scale 7 is very slightly above the main scale mark, and we can see that the vernier scale 8 (directly above 7) is slightly below its corresponding main scale mark. Hence, the scale on Figure 130C could be read as 75.673 ± 0.002. A reading error of about 0.002 would be appropriate for
this instrument.

75.673 ± 0.002.
Reading a Vernier Scale on a Rotating Main Scale
The vernier scale may also be used on rotating scales where the main scale and vernier scale do not share units. Figures 130D and 130F show a vernier scale system for two different situations where the main scale is given in degrees and the vernier scale has ticks every 5 arcmin (60 arcmin = 1°). In each case, the scale on the top is the main scale, while the small scale on the bottom is the vernier scale.
In Figure 130D we see the pointer is lined up directly with the 341° line. Notice that the only other vernier scale tick marks that line up well with the main scale are ±60 arcmin. Since the pointer lines up with the main scale at 341°, the reading from Figure 130D is 341.00°.
There are two ways to determine the reading if the zero on the vernier scale line is between two lines of the main scale. For the first method, take the line on the left side of the pointer on the vernier scale and subtract that value (in arcmin) from the value on the main scale that is to the right on the main scale. As an example, in Figure 130E the vernier pointer is between 342° and 343°; using the left blue arrow of the vernier scale results in
As we've seen here, vernier scales add precision to a standard scale measurement. While it takes a bit of getting used to, with a little practice, reading these scales is fairly straightforward. Vernier scales, whether they are direct or retrograde*, are read in the same fashion.
*A retrograde vernier scale has a larger spacing between its tick marks with N ticks for every N + 1 ticks on the main scale.

(posted 2020-07-28 05:54:07.913) What is the rotation of the stage for each revolution of the adjuster? I guess it is related to the curvature of the stage. Can you add that radius in the specs and the rotation per revolution?
Thank you llamb
(posted 2020-07-30 09:17:24.0) Thank you for contacting Thorlabs. The angular change per revolution is not a constant linear value, because of converting a linear translation from the adjuster screw to a movement along the goniometer's arc. We will consider adding data to the website, and I will reach out to you directly with some approximate data for the time being. Veronica Eyo

I am trying to use a combination of the CR1_M and the GN05_M to develop a positionioning device for a test. I would like to remove the base Plate from the GN05_M and screw it directly in a adapter plate (as the two devices dont match) using the 4 screws provided to fix the Base plate. The problem is that I cant find the Information about the Thread of this screws. Could you please tell ? YLohia

I would like to use a GN05/M or GN2/M upside down, meaning that I would like to attach my load where the base-plate is right now and I would mount the GN2/M where now the load is supposed to be (likely using a custom baseplate).
Is the baseplate removable? Can it be attached to the top surface, or is there another easy way to mount the top surface to another large surface (with custom bores and threads)? besembeson
(posted 2016-01-04 02:11:11.0) Response from Bweh at Thorlabs USA: Thanks for contacting Thorlabs. You can use this in the upside down configuration, with reduced load capacity. The base plate is connected to the mounting plate through four cap screws so it can be removed. The mounting plate only has threaded holes (around the central mounting area) so attaching this to the top plate (that also has threaded holes) is not recommended. I will contact you if a special adapter plate is needed. mark.preddy

The device appears to be anodized aluminum, if this is the case, would lubrication be necessary? If they are not aluminum, out of curiosity, what are they made of? cdaly
(posted 2014-08-07 10:25:09.0) Response from Chris at Thorlabs: Thank you for your inquiry. The main body of the goniometer is made form anodized aluminum. The stage uses apiezon grease, which is vacuum compatible, but the micrometer does not. We may be able to provide one as a custom vacuum version without the micrometer, but due to the tight tolerances on these parts, we would not be able to strip the anodization and would need to make them from scratch. alrun.thuemen

(posted 2013-05-21 13:19:00.0) Response from Chris at Thorlabs: Thank you for using our web feedback. There's really no direct way to mount the two together. You could use a plate such as C1520/M which will attach to the top of the stage with an M6 threaded stud to give you a good mounting surface for the goniometer, but this is probably going to block the reference marking. Would it be possible to use the PR01/M instead? This has a large enough surface with appropriate mounting holes that the goniometer can be mounted directly to. We also have the TTR001 stage available with tip/tilt/rotation adjustment, though it would not have the full 360 degree range of the RP01. tcohen
(posted 2012-09-13 13:14:00.0) Response from Tim at Thorlabs: The main scale has 1 degree graduations and the Vernier scale increments in 10 arcmin graduations as you noted. If the central line on the Vernier is aligned with a degree mark on the moving platform, this is read in degrees. The line on the Vernier scale that is aligned with one on the rotation dial is the value read in 10 arcmins to give a finer scale to read between the main degree graduations. I will contact you to discuss this and your calculation further. huub.de.graaf
(posted 2012-09-13 09:53:49.0) I am also struggling with the use of the goniometers. I assumed 1 line (marker) on the goniometer is equivalent to 10 arcmin. This however would mean that 6 full rotations of the goniometer creates a tilt of 25 deg (25*6*10= 1500 arcmin = 25 deg). Somehow I think this is not correct. Please give the correct scale factor. jjurado

Just because I bought one of your stages doesnt mean I know how to use it. I assumed instructions would come with the device, but no. Obviously you guys are much more interested in selling your products than you are in making sure your customers know how to use the products. bdada
(posted 2011-04-13 15:47:00.0) Response from Buki at Thorlabs to Harald:
The maximum load is limited by the pulling force of the springs inside. Therefore, it should be the same even when it is mounted upside down.

(posted 2011-04-13 17:09:56.0) I am interested in a product to mount a camera vertically and adjust it with reasonably good precision. The GNL20/M might be an option if i can mount the goniometer upside-down and hang the camera under the goniometer. The question is if the goniometer can be mounted this way and support this (negative) load. The camera with lens weights approx. 350 gram, and i could probably manage to produce an extra bracket weighing less than 100 g to be within the 1 lb stated. I assume the weight limit is stated for nominal (not upside-down) operation, though? Greg

(posted 2010-06-28 13:29:27.0) Response from Javier at Thorlabs to david.thompson: we offer thread adapters that may work for mounting different optics or other components onto the GNL10. For example, if you are looking to mount a prism, you can use our our PM1 and PM2 clamping arms, which have #6-32 threads. We could also discuss the design of a custom plate, although the use of such a plate would shorten the distance to the point of rotation of the stage. I will contact you directly to discuss your application a bit further. david.thompson
